Assignment of Serotype-Specific IgG1, IgG2, and IgA Weight-Based Antibody Units to the Human Pneumococcal Standard Reference Serum, 007sp

ABSTRACT In 2011, the human pneumococcal standard reference serum, 007sp, was established as a replacement for the previous standard, lot 89SF, supplies of which were dwindling. The pneumococcal reference serum is used primarily in the standardized pneumococcal enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Wor...

Serotype-specific IgG values for 24 pneumococcal capsular serotypes have previously been assigned to 007sp by bridging to the original values derived for lot 89SF. In this study, by bridging to existing values in lot 89SF, we assign weight-based serotype-specific IgA, IgG1, and IgG2 to 007sp for 11 pneumococcal capsular serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F), as well as serotype 19A-specific IgA. Concentrations for serotype-specific IgA, IgG1, and IgG2 present in 007sp were comparable to those previously assigned to lot 89SF. In addition, the concentration of serotype-specific IgG1 plus IgG2 assigned to 007sp significantly correlated to previously assigned 007sp IgG values. The accuracy of antibody assignments to 007sp from lot 89SF was assessed by comparing the concentration of serotype-specific IgA, IgG1, and IgG2 in 16 unknown samples using both 007sp and lot 89SF as the standard. Interpolated values for the unknown samples were highly correlated with average R2 values of 0.9729, 0.9951, and 0.9933 for IgA, IgG1, and IgG2, respectively, for all serotypes demonstrating the precise nature assignments to 007sp made in this study.
